Richard "Ricky" Ray Campbell, 73, of Republic, MO made his journey home to Jesus on Monday, November 25, 2024, from this earth. He was born August 22, 1951, to Bruce and Amy Campbell in Crawford, NE. Around 1957 he moved to Alaska and spent the next 20 years there.

Ricky served his country for 22 years as a member of the United States Navy. He had a dry sense of humor and was definitely a comedian at heart. He enjoyed NASCAR, antique cars, and telling stories. He also enjoyed being a part of Calvary Baptist Church in Republic. Ricky was a beloved husband, brother and friend.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his wife, Janice Campbell; two sisters, Sheryl Rowell and Bev Davis; his nephew, Josh Rowell; his niece, Sheryl Braun; many cousins; and a wonderful church family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Calvary Baptist Church at a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
